What is double jeopardy? Explain how this vocabulary word relates to the 5th Amendment.

1 answer:

6 0

Double jeopardy is a legal defense which, after a clear acquittal or conviction, does not preclude an accused person from being charged on the same charge again.

Explanation:

The Fifth Amendment to the Constitution states that "no one is twice liable to be targeted at the same offense." The Double-jeopardy Clause bars any second prosecution or conviction and forbids multiple penalties of the same offense.

Double jeopardy does not shield suspects from being charged for multiple offenses, while separate charges are prohibited for the same crime.

For example, An convicted person could again be charged on the "less included crime" of involuntary killing.

Explanation: Discontinued Operation in financial accounting is a term that is used to refer to part(s) of a company’s line of businesses or products that have been sold or shut down.

Discontinued operations are reported on the income statement, but separately from continuing operations.

The decision to list discontinued operations separately on the income statement is useful because it shows investors where the profits are coming from and which operations have ceased to function, especially useful when companies are about to merge.
